Question 5

How to properly attach the grater to the BOSCH Multitalent 8 MC812M865 robot?

Accepted Answer

To properly attach the grating disc to your BOSCH Multitalent 8 MC812M865 robot, it is essential to follow the exact order of operations. Start by turning off and unplugging the device, then place the mixing bowl in position according to the marker (.) marked on the bowl. Next, turn the bowl clockwise until it stops to lock it in place.

Place the drive shaft on the robot's drive. Then remove the grating disc from its protective case. Position the disc on the disc holder with the desired side facing up (you have several discs: reversible coarse/fine, medium-fine, or coarse depending on the type of food to be processed). Alignment is crucial: the drive pivots of the disc holder must engage precisely in the holes of the disc designed for this purpose, and the disc must press firmly against the side pin of the disc holder.

Place the disc holder with a slight rotation on the drive shaft until it clicks into place. Then place the lid with the pusher respecting the marker (.), and turn the lid clockwise until it stops to secure it permanently. Now plug the plug into the power outlet and set the rotary switch to the desired position before adding the food to be grated.

Important: before any handling, ensure that the device is turned off and unplugged to avoid any risk of injury. Proper attachment ensures that processed foods do not risk reaching the lower edge of the disc holder and that the disc operates safely and efficiently.

Question 6

Why does the grater of the BOSCH Multitalent 8 MC812M865 robot derail during use?

Accepted Answer

If the grating disc of your BOSCH Multitalent 8 MC812M865 robot derails or skips during use, several installation and usage points should be checked as a priority.

Check the disc mounting: The disc must be correctly positioned on the disc holder to function. Follow these precise steps: first, take the disc out of its protective case and place it on the disc holder. Then, turn the desired side of the grating disc upwards. Position the disc on the disc holder so that the drive pivots of the disc holder engage in the holes of the disc designed for this purpose. The disc must correctly apply to the lateral pin of the disc holder. Finally, place the disc holder with a slight rotation on the drive shaft. If any of these steps are omitted or poorly executed, the disc may derail.

Check the complete assembly: Ensure that the lid is completely closed clockwise until it stops. A partially closed lid may prevent the disc holder from locking properly, causing the disc to derail. Also, check that the drive shaft is properly in place before installing the disc holder.

Wear of parts: Over time, the disc support ring or the disc holder may wear out or show plastic cracks. Check the condition of these parts, especially the drive pivots and the lateral pin. If you notice deformation or wear, the affected part (such as the disc support ring, reference 00750906) must be replaced with an original BOSCH part.

Choice of foods: Some foods that are too hard or too soft can create excessive resistance that causes the disc to derail. Use the reversible grating disc for standard vegetables, fruits, and cheese (except parmesan). The medium-fine grating disc is suitable for raw potatoes and hard cheese. Follow the recommended food type for each disc.

Usage technique: Use the provided pusher to advance the food with a light pressure. Too much pressure can overload the accessory and cause a derailment. Cut the food into appropriate pieces before introducing them.

Immediate cleaning: Clean all parts immediately after use to prevent food residues from drying and damaging the mechanisms. Embedded residues can hinder the engagement of the pivots.

If the problem persists after following these checks, contact BOSCH customer service, as the disc or disc holder may be damaged and require replacement.

Included accessories: The standard kit includes several types of graters and discs, including fine and coarse graters, as well as slicing options.
Grater for deruny: The ideal grater for potato pancakes is generally a fine or medium grater that allows you to grate the potatoes into fine julienne. The Multitalent 8 often includes a grater suitable for this purpose, but this may vary depending on the pack or accessories provided.
Verification: To ensure that your model comes with this specific grater, it is advisable to check the list of accessories provided with your device or to consult the product description at the time of purchase.

In summary, the BOSCH Multitalent 8 MC812M865 typically comes with versatile graters suitable for preparing potato pancakes, but the presence of a dedicated grater for deruny depends on the included accessory pack.
